And the winners are...

Bowral Sculpture Prize lucky winners are:

FIRST PRIZE

Edward Willson  Fluidity                    

In Sculpture Garden

Judge’s Comments:            “Scale, material and a tactile presence are realised in a distinctive and sensitively created work of art.  Evidence of a thoughtful, purposeful making, communicating a visceral emotion. ‘Fluidity,’ has a three-dimensional purpose held with gentle assertiveness giving this artwork an authority in space.”

2^nd PRIZE

Eva Beltran What Remains

Judge’s Comments:           “A muscular artwork with a monumentality belying its small scale.  An arresting, thought-provoking artwork, full of energy with an engaging tactile presence.  Cohesion between idea, form and material communicating a sense of the future past.”
